Enhancing Secure Data Transfer Through Combined Reversible Encryption, Compression, and Embedding Techniques

Abstract

In advanced method for secured data transfer, combining existing reversible encryption processes with innovative compression and embedding techniques. Traditional reversible encryption methods, such as RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography), etc provide robust security by encrypting data with a public key and allowing decryption only with the corresponding private key, ensuring that only authorized recipients can access the encrypted information. Building on these established encryption techniques, the proposed concept shuffles multiple encryption methodologies to reduce the data size before encryption, thereby enhancing both efficiency and security. The data to be transferred is initially embedded into a single file or multiple files using embedding techniques which hides the data within other non-sensitive files, or using specialized data containers that support hidden data storage. The embedding, the data is compressed and embedded inside multiple files to minimize its size and optimize the encryption process. The compressed data is then encrypted using the recipient’s public key, providing an additional layer of security. Upon reception, the encrypted data is decrypted using the recipient’s private key, decompressed to its original size, and disintegrated to extract the embedded data. This layered approach ensures high levels of security, with the compression ratio and encryption strength tailored to the desired security level, offering a scalable and effective solution for protecting sensitive information during transmission.
